Wheel Spacer depth?

[Garaged]

Folks, looking for your advice here. I have looked through a bunch of existing threads and can't exactly tell. What depth/thickness of wheel spacer will make the tires stick out JUST past the fenders so that they'll take the hit first before the plastic fender bits?

I intend to use the OEM Beadlock-capable wheels (I like them) so I'm not looking to get different offset-wheels. I see the 1.25in spacers from Spidertraxx and 1.2 Borne Offroad ones recommended plenty (let me know if there are other billet/forged ones), but they appear flush to me once installed. Do I need to go to 1.4 or more for a very slight bit of poke?

What size tires? And using the beadlock rings?

I am going down this road now with mine. I bought the beadlock rings and am mounting up some 35/12.5r 17's on them. The bead lock rings will make the tires stick out a bit more vs no rings. And the wider tire will too.

Stock ko3 33s. Just the beauty rings, not going to use actual bead locks

Well I have a set of 18×9 +18 ET wheels with 275/65 R 18'S on it currently. And the stock wheels with the 1.2 space should measure out ~25mm offset so MAYBE 7MM more tucked under the wheelwell.

30mm is what?

30 mm

So around a 1.4 in spacer would be just outside? Or are you saying flush?

 

[Arsenall11]

Just about flush

Thank you. So it sounds like a 1.5 would work for me to get the tiniest bit of poke.

Which spacer brand did you go with? And did you need to get or replace any other hardware?

Also, hope you're well! Seeing your RR outside the ice cream place in Snoqualmie was the final push I needed to go get myself one last year!

The 1.4 will be slightly in from the pic I shared.

Got it, so would yours be about a 1.5 equivalent with the stock wheels?

Yes, roughly

Hello! Replaced the lug nuts with the Gorilla black ones. Rsotechs from Amazon. They are well built and have great reviews.

Thank you both. I'll probably order the 1.5 inch BORA spacers here - https://www.stage3motorsports.com/19ranger1-50x4-19-22-ranger-bora-150-wheel-spacer-set.html

I did the 1.5 inch spacer and it looks good, prob a 1.25 spacer maybe just the perfect gap.
